Benny’s got that new Bunny bounce

The NRL's oldest coach will kick off a new era at South Sydney this Saturday, and he says he can't wait to get cracking on his 33rd straight season coaching in the big league.

While none of the Bunnies' biggest names will be playing in the trial against Riverina, Bennett did confirm superstar Greg Inglis was scheduled to start running again on Wednesday as he recovers from a recent knee complication.

But Bennett already has a spring in his step, telling The Daily Telegraph he was excited to be making the trip south to start the next chapter in his long and illustrious career.
